TECH Controllers integration for Home Assistant
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
climate | Thermostat | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |
What people report
Tech Sterowniki eModul controllers work via the cloud, but several models miss sensors until widget/tile support is added per user JSON dumps.

| Kołton ST-5305 heat pump | Partly works Cloud | Power/COP widgets mislabeled as temperature; fix branch in testingSaved copyThank you for preparing the fix. I am attaching the full module JSON response for my Kołton ST-5305, firmware v1.2.3. It contains 98 tiles. The mainControllerId field has been replaced with 0 for privacy; the raw readings and unit codes are unchanged. Electrical power, heating power and COP are all zero in this snapshot. I can provide another dump during operation if needed. kolton_st5305_full_json.zip Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #221 · 2026-10 | |
